Help, faster, when something goes wrong at school
School and campus are busy places. Sometimes something goes wrong, and someone needs help. VOLT helps school staff find out sooner, so help can get there faster.

It looks for moments
VOLT is built to notice moments: a fall, a possible fight, someone where they shouldn't be.
VOLT doesn't need someone watching every screen.
A camera on its own just records. If something goes wrong, the video is a replay of what already happened.
VOLT is different. It flags moments that need attention, so people can act.
VOLT is built to notice what a fall looks like, and what a crowd forming looks like.
That is how it can tell a person lying on the floor from students playing a basketball game.
VOLT doesn't name anyone.
VOLT does not decide what happens to a student. Your school's staff and rules do.
How VOLT works
Step 1
A school camera sees part of the campus.
VOLT is built to run on the cameras you already have.
Step 2
VOLT notices a moment, like a student who fell.
Step 3
VOLT sends an alert, like "Possible fight" or "Crowd forming." Every notification is human verified.
Other alerts include "Possible vandalism," "Possible theft," and "Person detected after hours."
Step 4
The people your school has chosen get told.
The alert shows where the moment is happening, so they know where to go.
Why minutes and seconds matter
Each time something goes wrong, the hard part is knowing that something is wrong, and where. Sometimes, minutes or even seconds make a real difference. The goal is getting the right people to the right place at the right time.
Is VOLT only about weapons? No. It looks for everyday moments too, like a fall or a crowd forming. VOLT detects handguns, long guns, and knives that are visible to the camera.
